2016’s Six Most Expensive Cars in the World not meant for Commoners Like Us

It is already December and soon we will say hello to 2017. Before the dawn of the New Year, Automologist Lee thinks that now is the best time to look back on 2016 and the most expensive cars featured in the past year.

Extravagant cars are about so much than just transportation. They are extremely fine pieces of work targeting the top 1%, who can afford the exorbitant prices and superior craftsmanship.

For the rest of us, we’d best just admire these rides from afar and tell ourselves: “Money can’t buy happiness”.

1. Pagani Huayra BC - US$2.6 million

It is a beast roaring on the road in the name of the god Huayra, the Incan god of winds. Pagani

debuted the lighter Huayra BC at the Geneva Motor Show this year. Although it is fitted with an

enormous active rear spoiler, a wider rear track, and new side skirts, it still kept the featherweight

thanks to the use of carbon fibre and other lightweight materials.

2. Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio - US$3 million

At a ‘mere’ US$3 million, the Ferrari Sergio is not the most expensive car. However, it is one of

the rarest as only six were ever made. Crafted by Italian car design firm, Pininfarina, the Sergio is

a light-weighted Ferrari 458 Spider with a completely new body and interior. Ferrari handpicked

each of the six owners, making it a rare invite-only vehicle.

3. Limited Edition Bugatti Veyron by Mansory Vivere - US$3.4 million

This mighty Bugatti Veyron augmented by Germany car modification firm, Mansory, is not just

one of the most expensive cars in the world; it’s also one of the fastest. With a stunning carbon

fibre body, a new spoiler package, upgraded LED lights, a revamped cabin, and a redesigned

front grille, the Veyron is not just a vehicle but a work of art too.

4. W Motors Lykan Hypersport - US$3.4 million

Once featured in the blockbuster Fast & Furious 7, the Hypersport drew so much attention with it

futuristic appearance. With jewel-encrusted headlights, scissor doors, and a sci-fi-like interior, it

seems like a product of the future. The Abu Dhabi police force has drafted it for patrol duty,

though it’s mainly for marketing purpose.

5. Lamborghini Veneno - US$4.5 million

‘Poison’ is the meaning of the Spanish word ‘Veneno’. Lamborghini built it to celebrate its 50^th
birthday. The car is absolutely gorgeous from every angle and just doesn’t seem real. The price is
of course as remarkable as it looks.
